Try this
r = 2;
t = linspace(0, 10*pi, 1000);
x = r*cos(t);
y = r*sin(t);
z = t/(2*pi);
plot3(x, y, z);
grid on

What happens after 2*pi radians? (Hint: x,y return to their original position, because sin and cos are periodic with period 2*pi.)
Therefore, at t = 0, we start the curve, where z=0. When do x and y return to the same spot? Again, at t = 2*pi. What is the value of z at that "time"?
z = (2*pi)/(2*pi) = 1
So z increments by EXACTLY one unit in z, every 2*pi units of time.

@Adil, as John explained, you will move a unit distance along the z-axis for each 2*pi increment in 't'.
